The Transmission Comes Apart 3:22 Release Notes: Go Big Shadow City, the fifth full-length from post-LA guitar í«n drums í«n buzz duo Alpine Decline, is an index, a cypher for the Beijing sound. Not í░the Beijing soundí▒ of their self-selected hometown contemporaries, whom theyí»re into but beyond í¬ GBSC is the sound of Beijing itself, as heard from the outside. Cigarette vapors caked onto countless kmí»s of 2í▒ tape, street-level, ear-burning progress filtered through carcinogenic dust. How to survive the smokestack? í«Walk With Mask, A.D. languorously implores. í«Doní»t Ask Questions.í» Guitar tones glow like neons bubbling through the proud industrial shadow clouds; they layer and loop like the cityí»s own M?bius boulevard of creative destruction. Drums are smashed out of rhythm with the Beijing clang, following a parallel time of Outer Ring Road modulation. Go Big Shadow City was recorded in the underground parking garage studio of Beijingí»s resident post-punk demigod, P.K.14í»s Yang Haisong. Its textures are likewise subterranean, rhizomatic. Ghost vox (í«Mid-Level Functionary In A Criminal Syndicateí», í«Hang Around The Creasesí») and narcotic melodies (í«Fearless In The Face Of Fateí», í«Bossí») emerge for seconds at a time before sinking back into the soup. In the end, as always, í«The Transmission Comes Apartí»; loop back to point 0, rebuild from scratch.
